As part of Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, the education pathway seeks to address persistent barriers to economic inclusion facing young women and girls.
Goal is the flagship education programme within Futuremakers. Managed globally by our strategic NGO partner Women Win, local projects use sport, play, and life skills education to help participants learn about health, communication, leadership, rights, and management of their personal finances. Sessions about online security have also been incorporated into the programme, to help educate young women and girls on safe practices as their lives become increasingly digital.
On an individual level, participation helps equip young women and girls with the confidence, knowledge, and skills they need to overcome barriers to inclusion.
Beyond the individual, we seek to create a critical mass of participants who – armed with greater confidence, skills, and knowledge – can lead and influence change at a community level.
